Bcc: se Please fix your "From:" address: "From: cfanning@PROBLEM_WITH_INEWS_DOMAIN_FILE" doesn't look quite right :) I'm going to guess your mail address ...

(Can't think of what here... :( ) Well, just try to avoid the 'c' partition. Do you really need /var on a file system of its own ? (There are valid reason to do that on a server, but hardly on a "single user" workstation ...) Just use the 'a','d' and 'e' partitions for ordinary file systems, in case you really need three ...
